Some weird make test behavior #125669
Description
Bug report
Bug description:
To varying degrees, this affects the 3.12, 3.13, and main branches. Other branches are also probably affected but I haven't tested them. They aren't showstoppers, but they are annoying.
make testbreaks the terminal. All input is hidden until you run theresetcommand.- Tcl/Tk tests hijack keyboard input. This is doesn't seem to affect 3.12, moderately affects 3.13, and really breaks on main. Essentially the tests pop up tons of windows, lots of stuff happens in those windows, and while that test is running, the desktop is largely unusable. You can get some mouse events through, but no keyboard events. It's especially bad with
main- you basically can't get anything done until the tests complete.
CPython versions tested on:
CPython main branch
Operating systems tested on:
macOS

I'm definitely in favor of changing this. I use
make testlocally, and it's become increasingly frustrating to try to do anything while tests are running. If people really need to test GUI stuff locally like this, maybe we can provide them with an additional make target.tomasr8 commentedon Oct 18, 2024
To turn off all GUI tests, you can disable the
guiresource:EXTRATESTOPTS="-uall,-gui" make test, though maybe it should be the default formake test?pythongh-125669: Do not run `-ugui` tests by default on `make test`

I proposed changing the
